Greenville News. ' This case very narrowly escnped, If It eseapea, being a cold blooJed assassination. The defendants, In my mind, bad do provocation for doing what they did and ibe Jury Is to be commended for bringing a verdict against tbem. I do not think tbat tbere was any doubt In tbe minds of tbe jurors as to tbe guilt of tbe prisoners; tbe only hesitation was as to whether they were guilty of murder or manslaughter. I bis is a very unfortunate case and 1 am Inclined to believe that It originated over tbat horrible traffic?the illicit dealing in liquor." These were tbe I words o/ J uuge Klu^n yesterday in announcing that he could not grant a new trial in the , case of Thomas R. Lindsay and Columbus < Sims, who were convicted on Saturday of manslaughter, having been tried for tbe , murder of Jas. K. Moon. Turning towards tbe prisoners the Judge then said?"It Is, therefore, the sentence of this court tbat each o! you be confined at hard kibor in tbe state penitentiary lor a term of fifteen years." Tne words of Judge Kiugh fell with so'emn I eflVct upon the pr^oners. For tbem It means p'aciically tbe same as life imprisonment for t orn have passed the prime of life and when tnelr sen tenets are ended will be old men. They received their sentence without a quiver and apparently resigned to their fate. L-iter Sims appeared to be deeply affected. Mr. Aivln H. Deau, attorney for tbe prison I ers, made a hard tight lor a new trial. .He| Eiaimed tbat toe evidence was not sufficient to warrant tbe conviction ot Columbus Simp; that tbe evidence did not show tbal be bau Bred tbe fatal shot. He also claimed that the evidence proved tbat Lindsay shot In self Jefensp. A (bird ground upon wblcb be isKed lor another bearing was tbat 81ms was *t>-eot lor a lew minutes from tbe court room whllt> tbe case was t>eiug tried. He made au ubie argument for another bearing lor tbe men. Judge Klugb said that he was convinced that tne trial was a fair one and that be did nut care to reverse tbe decl6loa of twelve iood men who found the defendants guilty. He eaid that twelve men could come nearer iecldlng a case fairly than could one and for that reason the verdict would have to stand, tie deplored tbe killing and said tbat the conviction of tbe men should serve as a warning. He said some words about the illloll liquor traflc and said that he thought that this case jrlglntted irom it. Judge Klugb also refused the motion for a new trial in the case of Wilkes Swilling, convicted of manslaughter. He sentenced him to serve a term of sevea years in the *tate penitentiary. Mr. DeaD, attorney fir Swll ting, has served notice ol an appeal to tbe supreme court in this case also and Swlllli>e Das beeli released on balMn the sum of 81,800 ' pending the decision of the supreme court, twilling was tried for the murder of John i Pearson. Lomas Young, colored, was found guilty of ihsault- aud battery wliu intent to kill on ( rbursday and Mr. Welborn, his attorney,. , yesterday made a motion lor a new trial, -t which whs refused. Tbe Jurige sentenced aim to a term ol five year? in the penllenti- ' iry. J The Court of General Sessions will adjourn today. A great deal has been accomplished i In tbe two weeks despite tte unavoidable dtaye. This has been a ver 7 successful court IntbeDumbdr of convicilcDS, there having seen a very few acquittals during the term. Solicitor Boggs statrd yesteroay tbat be was i well pleased with the results of tbe two weeks 1 work. While tbe docket has not been cleared t>y a great deal, swift progres has been made. 1 \ large number of cases will go over to the ' oext term. ?

Do Hot Want Stranger* to 6m Ttab HooMhold Arrangement?!. f It seems to be a part of the real slm* plidly of the Italian Latin to pat on a i quite useless look of mystery on all occai ?ions, and to assume the air of a oonsplri ator when buying a cabbage, and mow than one great foreign writer baa fallen i Into the error of believing the Italian . character to be profoundly complicated. ) One is apt to forget that it needs much . deeper duplicity to maintain an appear) ance of frankness under trying clrcomj stances than to make a mystery of one'i 5 marketing and a profound seoret of one's t cookery. There are few things which the , poor Italian more dislikes than to be Watched when he is buyidg and preparing k his food, though he will ask any one to . share it with him when It Is ready, but he ' la nlmnat. na nrnno hirin fivfirvthlna else i that) goes on Inside bis house unless be has fair warning of a visit and full time to I prepare himself for it. ) This is perhaps not entirely a race peoul, larity, but rather a survival ?f mediaeval . life as it was all over Europe. There are pretty clear Indications In our own litera3 feure that the ladies and gentlemen of twc or three hundred years ago did not like to be oaugbt unprepared by Inquisitive visitors. The silks and satins in which they are portrayed would not have lasted a lifetime, as they did, if they had been worn every day. As for the oleanllnesa of thoac times, the less said about it the better. In Rome there was a long period during which not a single aqueduct was in work' Ing order, and It was a trade to clear a sup ply of water out of the Tiber from a por tlon of the yellow mud by letting It settle in reserveirs, and to sell It in the street! for all household purposes. Who washed In those days? It Is safer to ask the que* tion now thanlt would have been then, Psnhahiv thooA iMnnnfl washed who wen tbe fortunate owners of a house well or ? rainwater olstern, and those who hat neither did not. Perhaps that was verj much the same all over Europe. It is cer talnly to the oredlt of Trastevere that it li not a dirty place today by Italian stand ard*.?Marion Crawford in Century. MARY ANDERSON'8 WARDROBE. Whta She Had bat Om Stags CoataoM For Fin VIti Act Plays. Three months elapsed between Marj Anderson's first appearance on the stag* and her second performanoe, "a heart breaking interval, " writes airs, uv n<? varro In The Ladles' Home JoarnaL Man ager Maoauley of Louisville then offered her his theater again for a week, and six presented the chief roles in five plays? i "Fasio," "The Hunchback," "JCvadne,' t "The Lady of Lyons" and "Romeo anc > Jnliot." Of her first week's engagement - aha writes: "At the end of the week I wai in debt to the manager for the sum of $1, - the honse having been large enongb onlj - to cover the running expenses. All 1 hac . gained by a week of hard work was a sac i heart and a very sore throat. Besides, i sredltors became unpleasantly importu - nate, for my scanty wardrobe was not yet t paid for. This consisted of a white satlx dress, simply made, whioh did service to: all the parts. It sparkled In silver trim mlnf?for Juliet, was oovered with plnl roses for Julia, became gay in green anc Cld for Evadne and oloudy with whiU ? for Pauline. The unfortunate gowi owed its many ohanges to the nimble anc willing fingers of my mother, who spenl i much time eaoh day in its metamorphoses.
